A Security Evaluation of a Non-Distributed Version of Windows NT
- 1997
-
Reports (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper we present an evaluation of the security in Windows NT. The objectives of the work are twofold: first, to learn more about the security system; and, second, to find out how secure the system actually is. To investigate the latter, the authors, have adopted the role of attackers. This paper contains results from several attempts to violate the security of Windows NT. In some cases, the attempts were successful, meaning that we gained access to information or resources that should be protected. The target systems were standard personal computers with Windows NT Workstation 3.51 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 respectively, both working in stand-alone mode

Analysis of the Security of Windows NT
- 1998
-
Reports (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents an analysis of the security in Windows NT 4.0, working in both stand-alone and networking mode. The objective of the work was to find out how secure this operating system actually is. A technical overview of the system, and in particular its security features is given. The system security was analyzed and practical intrusion attempts were made in order to verify vulnerabilities or to find new ones. All vulnerabilities are described in detail and classified according to a classification scheme. A comparison to commonly known UNIX weaknesses was made. It revealed generic similarities between the two systems to a surprisingly high degree. Finally a number of recommendations are given. The paper concludes that there are ample opportunities to improve the security of Windows NT. We have reason to believe that it is probably not higher than that of UNIX
